2 I// FRANCE AND USA ECONOMICS RELATIONS In 2014, trade between France and the US was estimated at 59 billion euros. France is the ninth largest exporter to the US and the fifth largest importer. The US remains the most popular destination for French Foreign Direct Investment valued at around 148 billion euros. More than 3600 subsidiaries of French companies operate in the USA, generating more than jobs there. FRENCH IN THE USA These figures only take into account French Citizens who subscribe to the French consulates. In reality there is more than twice the amount of French Citizens in America, because many are often only making short visit or are shuttling between France and the US. FRENCH IN CHICAGO French expatriates are turning more and more to big cities in the South and the Midwest. Chicago attracts numerous French expatriates because of the beauty of Lake Michigan, a cost of living which is lower that New York or California and its good public infrastructure. Chicago has welcomed more French citizens (estimation).
